Look Who's Talking

WHO IS HE ?

Either Muhyiddin Resign Or Be Sacked, Says Zaid

KUALALUMPUR, Sept 12 (Bernama) -- Minister in the Prime Minister's Department DatukZaid Ibrahim Friday came out guns blazing against International Trade and Industry Minister Tan SriMuhyiddinYassin, who Thursday asked the transfer of power fixed for 2010 be brought forward.The de facto law minister said if Muhyiddin was not happy with the leadership of Prime Minister DatukSeriAbdullah Ahmad Badawi, he should either resign or be sacked by Abdullah."It is very simple. If Muhyiddin is not happy with the prime minister, he can resign from the cabinet, as it means he has no confidence in PakLah (Abdullah), or PakLah should sack him."He was speaking to reporters after launching an exhibition entitled "Wallscapes: The Merdeka Paintings by Wang Lan, Wang Xu and ShenJiawei" at GaleriPetronas, here Friday.

p/s This guy owes his living to AbdullahBadawi, so he sets his tunes accordingly. While Muhyiddin is a duly elected Member of Parliament answerable to the rakyat who voted him in, Zaid is simply AbdullahBadawi's 'boy' who was appointed as a Senator, saving him from disappearing into a state of oblivion.

Zaid, you have no locus-standi to urge Muhyiddin to resign. Nor do you have the standing to ask the PM what to do (you might be a member of the powerful kitchen-Cabinet, but please Mr.Zaid, keep your hidden affairs strictly in the Kitchen).

If you're a lap-dog, behave as one. Lap-dogs would be clobbered when their masters dump them.

Sudahlah Zaid, shut the hell up, you have no credibility with grass roots UMNO. You do not have the moral authority to even plead for Muhyiddin to resign, you were suspended for money politics and now you do not have enough votes from your own Division to be nominated as Division Head.

You came in thru the back door in the Cabinet, when Dollah leaves thru the back door, you follow alsolah, spare us your idiotic Malay Liberalism idea OK.

Zaid is revealing more and more of his intellectual capacity after joining Dollah Al-Tidori. I was thinking before that he was a cunning and intelligent lawyer. However, with statement after statement that he made right after becoming cabinet minister, his IQ slowly revealed its true color, just below average after all.

Another Licker in the making ... all for survival as General Tan Sri Isa Samad is waiting with cannons lined-up facing Abdullah and his clowns.

The Malaysian Insider) Negeri Sembilan Mentri Besar Datuk Mohamed Hassan tonight fired the first salvo at Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin - telling him that he should resign from the Cabinet if he had lost confidence in the Prime Minister.

The former corporate player urged Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to be ruthless against those who want to be heroes for own self interest.

Speaking at the Masjid Taman Tuanku Jaafar before Isyak prayers, he told the PM, who was in the audience, that he would support him all the way and come what may.

He noted that unity was important in the country, government and party.

He could not understand how someone could renege on a plan agreed to, referring to

Muhyiddin's decision to ask Abdullah to hand over power to Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak soon, and not in 2010 as endorsed by the Umno Supreme Council.

Mohamed said that such politicians should not criticize their leaders in public especially when they too had agreed with the transition plan. If they disagreed with the PM or had lost confidence in him, they should resign from Cabinet.

Not once did he mention Muhyiddin's name but the audience understood sting of his message and who it was being directed at.

On Wednesday, the Umno vice-president - a persistent critic of the PM since the general elections - urged Abdullah to leave office earlier than outlined in his transition plan.

Today, he told reporters that he was prepared to face the consequences of breaking ranks with the council, saying that it was his duty to articulate the concerns of the rank and file.

Mohamed Hassan's speech tonight suggests that any move to force out Abdullah will be challenged by his loyalists.

(((((There is a sentiment among senior politicians and Cabinet members that Muhyiddin should resign from the Abdullah administration since he no longer has confidence in the PM.))))) - this final paragraph sound like Mr.Pereira.

Can someone for God's sake tell Zubaidah Abu Bakar of NST to stop writing columns. I mean, ass-licking the Government is understandable because she is working for Umno-owned paper, but her columns do not stimulate the mind, lacks depth and intellectual debate, are not analytical and written with appallingly poor language. She is old enough to retire, but her articles are a far cry for the likes of Joceline Tan of The Star.

I know so many one-year-old reporters who can write better than her. I am surprised that NST editors can actually print her s**t.

Senator Zaid is indeed very smart. He entered the room though back door and left the same room via the front door. To the ignorant, he will be remembered as a person with principles. To the believer he will be remembered as a person who compromised his principles with post and power

Zaid is indeed very smart.. or so he thinks. THINK! What would happen to the ex-gratia Minister when (not if) Badawi is removed (steps-down) before 31st Dec, 2008? Zaid doesnt have support from his division to hold any posts, either in the party nor the Govt, so where does it leave him after Badawi is 'sacked' by Umno?So, rather than being kicked-out of the Cabinet like Pak Lah, Zaid grabbed the opportunity which came via the ISA-arrest and 'escaped' like a Hero.He actually used the anti-ISA sentiments to mount his escape while successfully 'maintaining' his 'pride, dignity and so called principals'.If you can THINK, then Zaid has none of the above, since he promoted 'graft' in the Govt by paying unknown amount of cash to once sacked judges (purely for political reasons).
